Acceleration Car
From UO Physics Demonstration Catalog
Return to Newton's Laws
Description:
A dynamic cart has a fan attached to it. The fan provides a force which accelerates the cart. Mass can be added which causes the cart's acceleration to be decreased. Force can be changed by a two speed switch for the fan. Can be demonstrated qualitatively or a computer with a motion senors for quantitative analysis. One cart has a timer you can set for how long the fan runs. Nice for Impulse Demos
